>> The turn out was as much a result of the nation wide concerted republican effort to suppress minority voters as it was obama's campaign... Nonsense. The turnout was a direct result of a slime campaign run by Axelrod accompanied with a first-class IT operation. That's why you have to give smart phones to those people on SS, Medicaid, Disability, Foodstamps -- so you can text them and tell them they need to vote if they want to keep all that free shit. >> I live in rural Alabama...i am surrounded by republican voters...their health care comes from Medicaid, they gladly collect unemployment insurance, their parents' health care comes from medicare, they live on social security, but wail against "takers" and those "who wage war on christmas"... their news comes from fox and friends and rush limbaugh. Don't talk to me about ignorant voters and class warfare...I have never in my life met more politically ignorant voters...republicans have been exploiting their ignorance for ever. I can't really comment on Alabama, but I find the people of Arkansas -- a demographically similar state -- to be far more informed politically than voters in CA or NY.
